From a Role to Individuality. Comments on the Changes to the Relationship between a Dialectologist and a Respondent

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the theory of dialectological methodology and focuses mainly on the participation of an informant and a researcher in a research process. An analysis of the development of dialectological methodology shows a change – a transformation from the prevalence of a role (a respondent, a researcher) to individuality (of a respondent, a researcher) i.e. transformation from the social to the individual factor. While the change is rarely defined in writing, it has been observed for some time now (the 20th–21st centuries).
